My first luftwaffe build since I was a child.. Tamiya great 1/48 FW190. Out of the box. Mr Hobby paints, pastels and water for panel lines and weathering. and a comparison with a more recent generation of the same fighter bomber strategy. Things got bigger... Thanks for looking

Thanks ... The Spad was fun to build.. Tamiya so the engineering so well thought through..
-
All free hand with airbrush. Was trying some weathering techniques. Also used pastels for panel wash, oils for leaks etc..

beautiful ... amazing finish and subtle weathering.. I like it lots -
Another 1/72 build.. Intakes almost a difficult as Revel 1/48 Tornado.. OOB build. Decals were great, they even include some RBF flags. Mr Hobby paints. And placed on top of my cabinet as running out of space now... the reason to go to the smaller 1/72 scale.. anyway thanks for looking... now onto the next build.. which will be a Tamiya 1/48 FW190A as its small and I have a space that will accommodate it...

its a 1:1... fully functioning as well..lol

Yes...lol Interesting scheme.. nicely done...

Academy F/A-18A+ Red Devils 1/72
Turbine_Man replied to Turbine_Man's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Thanks guys for the comments.. had some issue with the Tamiya flat coat which makes the paint look heavy and thick.. trying out some new techniques as well.. used pastels and water for washes.... the next one is going to be a f-15c so again a grey one... not a memeber of any clubs out here.. workshop is not a garage but my balcony and this hobby keeps me out of the bars..which is a good thing..lol -
Due to storage space I have tried my hand a 1/72 scale. here is Academy OOB of their F/A18A+. Nice kit that goes together well with very little troubles.. Painted with Mr Hobby colours but slightly the wrong shades. Thanks for looking

I think the Tamiya A-1 is excellent OOB.. No need for any aftermarket stuff..and a lovely kit which falls together so well..

There are a few shops here that sell models and supplies. Also I use Hannants and the delivery has been good so far. I will try and get back to the wessex sometime. Has been a difficult build and lots of parts broken during the move.. Next up is an A-7K Corsair II.

Lovely ... I like it lots

After a battle with and stalling on the Fly 1/32 Wessex, moving condos which damaged the work on the Wessex I needed a nice subject to get the mojo back.. http:// So what better than a Tamiya 1/48 A-1H skyraider completely out of the box.. No PE.. No resin.. No paper.. no fancy stuff just back to basics.. http:// Paints from Mr Color (Mr Hobby) and Tamiya.. Grey was a mix as did not have the right colour http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// But life is good.. A view from my balcony work bench area.. http:// Thanks for looking..

So its taken all weekend but finally she is closed up. Mistake 1 was not correctly placing the gearbox in dead centre so off it came. Another round of mixing some 2 part epoxy. After dry fixing. Trimming, dry fixing trimming I realised that it was not going to fit with no gaps so took the plunge of just going for it. So panel by panel tack weld with Tamiya super thin. then when it all looks as best as it gonna get apply lots more glue and super glue to secure all the joins. There were some losses. Both control sticks broke in the process and the instrument panel came loose. These will be returned to their rightful place. Its big.. Tail rotor and PE also built.. Looks good. So after first round of filling and scraping and sanding then a coat of primer it looks OK So another quick round of smoothing and next step is to start putting on all the PE.
